At any rate, is the user with the username Scott McCloud really THE Scott McCloud?! That guy's my friggin' hero! He's a genius. On that note, if it really is him, what the hell is he doing here? I assumed that he would have important, incredibly smart things to be doing, literally all of the time.

you know, you get used to it, HIM being here. but actually, even though every one acts very casual about it, most people are very excited if HE ever replies to their messages or even cites them in his blog. and i confess, i belong to most people.

It's really great that he visits too. So many "official sites" for bands, artist, whatever else, the people running the site never post. It's just so wrong. If only they'd take 5 minutes to make a reply every day, thier fans would love it._________________

Until then ...

Scott McCloud is my hero.
Scott McCloud is under negotiations to come to the Ann Arbor Book Festival (I hope we can meet our fundrasing goal. Cross your fingers.)
Scott McCloud is just a guy who was really smart and charming when I got a chance to talk to him. (But I still think that he should tape his presentation and sell it on his site (my favorite musical band has concert tapes and I still pay the full price to see them in person when I can)).
Scott McCloud kicks ass!_________________

I'm not so worried about WHAT Scott McCloud is...the question I find myself asking is "WHY is Scott McCloud?"

Because it was about time. Because we needed him. He wasn't the first comics guru, but he's the guru of our generation (assuming that most of you are roughly my age). It's not an overstatement to say that Understanding Comics changed the path my life would take. I know I'm not the only one.

Scott is... partially responsible for the person I am today, and for the person I hope to become.
